Adding a livescope with new Garmin uhd 93 sv. I already have a hummingbird SI /DI I use while under motor. The 93 sv was actually cheaper with an SI/DI transducer. Livescope transducer will be mounted on the starboard side of the trolling motor. I do not see the value of running the new SI transducer to the back of the boat. I could
1. put the new transducer back in the box and store it for the next 15 years - as I tend to do.
2. put the new transducer on the bottom of the trolling motor using the same hose clamp.
I am leaning towards #1 as 2 transducer cables coming up the shaft (external with tie wraps) of a MG Xi3 already sounds like a rodeo plus effort involved in switching off one transducer and switching on the other.
I would like to hear some experienced opinions. I fish mainly crappie. I know I could spend another 500 and get another garmin unit to replace the hummingbird and network them but, I do not really want to part with that extra cash or add complexity. For Pete's sake it is a homemade jon boat.
